A Musical Interlude

And now, for a musical interlude--a break from your busy day.

Note how this wooden ball somehow manages to play this peice with human-like feeling--pauses, accents and all.

Lenten Poetry Wednesday

Another installment from the beautiful prayer/poem of Protopresbyter Gregory Petrov, written in a prison camp in 1940.

Glory to Thee at the hushed hour of nightfall

Glory to Thee, covering the earth with peace

Glory to Thee for the last ray of the sun as it sets

Glory to Thee for sleep's repose that restores us

Glory to Thee for Thy goodness even in the time of darkness

When all the world is hidden from our eyes

Glory to Thee for the prayers offered by a trembling soul

Glory to Thee for the pledge of our reawakening

On that glorious last day, that day which has no evening

Glory to Thee, O God, from age to age

Art and Beauty Tuesday--Walfrido Garcia

Blind Faith by Walfrido Garcia is an amazing painting.  It shows an eclipse of the moon over the waves. Garcia's own explanation of the painting is this:


Have you ever believed without seeing?  This painting is a testament to believing in the light through the shroud of darkness. 

The light shines from behind the blocked moon and illuminates the waves.  You can see the light peaking out from the bottom of the moon--a promise of more Light to come.

Lenten Music Monday: Edited

This is a very meditative Lenten meditation with pictures of the desert, reminding us to enter the desert of denial of our earthly passions in order to allow the grace of Christ's love to replace our human sins and shortcomings.
